I''ve seen all kinds of animals around UTP. Yea la, wat to do, it's right next to the freakin' jungle.
On the back roads, I've seen all kinds of things. Common creatures would be monkeys, baboons, owls, bats.
On rare occasions, you might even bump into a wild pig whilst driving along those back roads. But you have to go really late at night, and keep your headlights down low. And you have to be really lucky, they're a rare sight.
Or there was that one time, I saw some weird creature scurry across the road. I think it was some ferret-like creature, I didn't get a good look at it. It was running so fast. But I caught a glimpse of it's tail. Black rings around it, like those lemurs in Madagascar. haha. I still wonder what it was that I saw.
But today kn. First time ever in UTP.
I saw a freakin' snake!!
And it wasn't on the back roads of UTP or something. Nope, this was right near the Academic complex. Near Pocket D, to be precise.
I was walking back alone from class, climbing up that hill... y'know the one, if you're in UTP.
Out of the corner of my eye, as I was walking, I saw something lying on the ground... long and thin. I assumed it was a piece of raffia string that somehow got torn loose from the banners and posters hung up in that area.
A movement caught my eye, and I turned around.
To my surprise, the raffia string was moving. And then I realised that what I was looking at wasn't a piece of string after all, but a snake. o___O
Fascinated, I watched as it slithered across to the other side of the road. And then jit umped over the drain, and slithered into the brush. Seriously. It jumped. It jumped! I didn't know snakes could jump. Scary!
Hafez told me afterwards, that snakes' muscles are quite strong, so it's no surprise they can jump. They just have to coil up like a spring or something. They're all muscle and no bone >___>
I hope that thing wasn't poisonous. It was pretty small. Aren't the small snakes usually the poisonous ones? *is paranoid* What if they get out and bite someone?? >__>
But I guess nothing beats that story someone (I forgot who) told me last time about a panther strolling on the roads near Village5, some years ago, long before my time. For real? I doubt it. But it's still an interesting urban myth, I suppose.
Nothing like a story like that to remind yourself that your university is right next to a jungle, smack in the middle of freakin' nowhere. Urgh.

CSI and Its Lame Puns
An explosion occurs at a fashion boutique. CSI Team arrives, surveys the area.
Detective A: But why attack a fashion boutique? It seems so random.
Detective B: On the contrary. This was by design.
(cue dramatic music and CSI theme song)
What's with the puns?? Why are you trying to make people laugh when every single episode begins with a person's death?? =___=
Yes, I am bored. Oh, and if you can guess which CSI this is from, which season and which episode, you are officially a CSI geek. haha.

My Newfound Love
I think I've mentioned before that I freakin' HATE coffee, right?? (so the Starbucks boycott or whatever doesn't affect me, I never went there in the first place, haha.. although, their planner/diary-thing is awesome, kudos to you if you have it. Hafez has it, darn him.)
erm. Anyway.
I have found an alternative to the blasted thing! Yay for substitute products and the free market!! (ok, confirm sudah weng)
hehe... sorry Nescafe, but we're over. You know we wouldn't have lasted anyway. I only put up with you because I had to. You always left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
My new best friend for late nights studying and completing last-minute projects/assignments is... 100 Plus.
not very satisfied with the google images results on 100 Plus, though. The Nescafe ones, sadly, looked a lot better. Apa ni 100 Plus. Invest in Photoshop!! Promoting brand image and all that! Don't be outdone by the brown poop drink!
Only RM1.40 from the vending machine downstairs, no need to buy siap2 one week's supply from the minimart. Now I will practice Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery... err.. purchasing? hahaha and no need to panic if I suddenly need to drink coffee, but all the shops are closed... no need to drive all the freakin' way to the mamak or 7-Eleven just to get that bloody awful brown poop drink known as coffee.
Brown poop drink, known in Ouran High School Host Club manga/anime series as "Hescafe", or "commoner's coffee". lolz
I heart 100 Plus~~~ It's not too fizzy, unlike Coke/Pepsi... it's not so sugary that it makes me way thirsty afterwards, and best of all... unlike coffee, coke, pepsi and other caffeinated drinks... it does not make me run to the toilet afterwards!! hahaha (now you know why I call it the brown poop drink. wahahaha)
100 Plus wallpaper; if you're really that into your isotonic drinks, and you ran out of football posters (if you're a typical guy) or cutesy cartoons (if you're a typical girl) to use as your desktop wallpaper (I won't say anything about guys using cutesy cartoons here... sgt gay. oops, I said it. Nvm then =__=).
No wonder Hafez was addicted to 100 Plus when he was a kid (and still kind of is, actually). *serious newscaster voice* This has been another random boyfriend fact, courtesy of our sponsors.
Speaking of which, 100 Plus should pay me, I'm promoting them like crazy.
Make 100 Plus your brand of choice!! lolz
Anyway, reason I'm staying up tonight is to get that blasted preliminary report done for my FYP (Final Year Project). Well... I can actually be considered done, since the requirements says 5 pages, and I've certainly done more than that... my literature review in itself is already 3 pages. But... I'm not satisfied with it. So off we go, fidgeting, adding more stuff to it... sigh.
Damn I hate myself sometimes. =__=
(I just noticed that I happily went and inserted boyfriend-facts into this post. daymn. I guess I'm just one of those annoying people who won't shut up about their significant other. You know.. "my boyfriend this" and "my boyfriend that". Too bad... deal with it. =P)

The AntiAntiFESCO Rant (meaning to say that I am anti those who are anti FESCO, geddit?)
My roommate got a love letter from some random person just now, apparently making her rounds. That's why la. Next time, when you hear that soft knock, the rustling of headscarves, and that inevitable "Assalamualaikum..." STAYTHEHELLAWAYFROMTHEDOOR.
Or else get me to open the door. You know. Since I apparently look so bloody Vietnamese (=__=). They'll have a good look at me, in my baggy, comot-looking sleeveless tank top and shorts, and as doubt starts to sink in, I will say something in English, with some random accent that I will be pulling out of my ass. Then they'll mutter something like, "Excuse me, wrong room..." or something to that effect, then go hound the person next door.
It seriously works 90% of the time. =P
ANYWAY.
Here's the love letter:
zomg. wth. ROFL.
I'd make some sarcastic comment and poke fun at it, tapi kesian la. They've made fools of themselves enough already.
Fyi, I think Valentine's Day is stupid, but I shall spare you that rant for now. But if some people have the money to spend, and they like Valentine's Day and all of its cheesy commercialized glory, then kudos to them. Do whatever makes you happy (within reason la, I mean.. don't you dare quote me out of context =___=).
But to insult those people by boldly accusing them of fornicating on Valentine's Day (because obviously that's ALL people in love do according to them - shit, no wonder these people can marry four wives)... that's going a bit to far, isn't it? And to add insult to injury, the message is poorly worded, in bad grammar, and don't even get me started on the horrible photoshop job and terrible composition. urgh. Plus the whole thing is just in bad taste. =__=
A joke, I say.
And have you heard about the cultural event that's taking place this Saturday? The Festival of Colours of the World, apparently an event featuring traditional dance performances from students of about 20 other universities. Isn't that wonderful, youth gathering from all over to appreciate their culture, to meet new people from other universities, to uphold their glorious traditions? What better way to spend your weekend night, rather than spend it rotting at some mall?
Not according to some people. Because, you see, they have a problem with the date set by the ministry people involved with the event, the ones who apparently selected our beloved uni as the event's host.
Umm. Because the event is on February 14th, people automatically assume it's to celebrate Valentine's Day? wth. Then come in the complaints, the threats to stage a demonstration in front of the Chancellor's Hall the night of the event.
The Rector apparently received a letter of complaint from the Jawatankuasa Penduduk Bandar Universiti ("Bandar Universiti's Residential Committee"), which upon further investigation, proved to be nonexistent. Read more here.
haha, wth. Please la. Stop embarrassing our university, can or not? Once I graduate, I want to have a resume that I can be proud of. Not one where, upon showing it to people, they burst out laughing and exclaim, "Omg! Isn't that the uni where..."
Please. Don't. 20 other universities, plus VIPs coming to watch the event. They can't be THAT stupid, can they? Can they??
Never underestimate a person's stupidity, though. Especially when they mingle in groups. =__=
You know, I'm normally not into cultural dances. Or dances of any kind. I mean, I don't mind watching, but not for too long. My short attention span can't take it. But there's so much hype about the event, I can't help but want to go, just to see if anything funny happens. hee. I love observing chaos =P
Plus I'm broke, no money to spend in Ipoh this weekend. wahahahaha.

I Need...
.. one of these. In black, preferably. Or any other neutral colour (white, grey, brown, etc.)
This one might do as well. Minus any silly-looking embellishments.
Anybody know where I can find one? And how much?

Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland?
Somebody kill me, because two of the people/things I love most just decided to get married and make beautiful, beautiful babies that I want to squeal over and hug until their eyeballs pop out.
Are you ready for the news? Ready? Ready?
... ... ...
Tim Burton is making an Alice in Wonderland film.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! *insert delighted squeals here*
Have I mentioned my love for Tim Burton movies? How his movies are so delightfully gothic, wonderfully fun to watch, and so full of awesome? The original Batman movies (which were the unquestionably the best until the latest one came to challenge), Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd remain among my favourite movies. In fact, I love the guy so much, I would watch any movie just based on the sole merit of it being directed/produced by Tim Burton.
And my obsession with Alice in Wonderland and any adaptations of it, or any references to it? Oh, I so heart. I've read and reread Alice, and it never gets old. The beauty of Alice is that it's so easily adapted into pretty much anything. I've even read various adult versions of it =P And a gothic Alice in Wonderland? That's something I will definitely look forward to!! So far, it seems like the movie will be a combination of both Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass. whee~
The movie is going to be a mixture of live-action and motion capture animation, yums~ Methinks live actors, and a motion capture background? If it's Tim Burton, I reckon he can definitely pull it off!
The cast is to die for as well.
Johnny Depp, as the Mad Hatter. That guy is my favourite actor, no way in hell would I miss a movie he's acting in!
Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, sounds interesting, I quite like her. =D
Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar (lolz! I can so imagine that! XD).
Helena Bonham Carter (Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd) as The Red Queen (who will actually be a mixture of both the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts, as in the Disney version)... interesting!
Michael Sheen (Lucian from Underworld) as the Cheshire Cat.
Christopher Lee will supposedly be in the movie as well, though his role hasn't been announced yet... curiouser and curiouser!
Whoever the casting director is, he's a genius. I bloody love him =D
You can check out other info about the movie here, here and here. Go and drool. Go.
Nina told me about the movie. She loves Alice in Wonderland more than me, which is surprisingly possible. We are now extremely, extremely psyched.
Favourite director, favourite actor, favourite childhood classic... what could go wrong??
Simple. It comes out in 2010. What??! Dammit, the suspense is killing me!!!

Vampires and Werewolves Make War, Not Love
Watched the new Underworld movie last night. Was actually not intending to watch it, since I only vaguely remember the first Underworld movie, and never watched the second one. But then Alex told me that Underwear 3... err, I mean Underworld 3 was a good watch, so I decided to give it a shot. =P
Plus there was nothing else to watch in the cinema anyway. =___= (Ipoh cinemas suck!)
I have to say, though, I was pretty satisfied with the movie. Lots of action, lots of gore, lots of violence... yum. And it had a satisfactory plotline. Though the last few seconds of pasting in scenes from the first Underworld movie were unnecessary. We all know the two movies are related, you don't have to prove it.
Anyways. THAT's what a vampire/werewolf flick should be. Not like that wimpy Twilight nonsense. What kind of gay-ass vampire spends the whole movie mooning over some irritating high school girl? Where's the kickass-ness? (yes, I made up my own word... again.) Where is the drama, the burden of living an eternal life? That Edward guy, despite supposedly being over a 100 years old or something, has the maturity level of a regular high school teenager, albeit a gay and emo one. Not only is he ridiculously lame, his dialogue is barf-inducing. So GAY!!
I tried the Twilight books as well... only got as far as the second book, then I gave up. (I'm surprised at myself for being able to tolerate it that far). The books spend more time focusing on the romance between Edward and Bella (which I don't really give a shit about), rather than the actual plot. My interest was in the plot development and the stories about vampires and werewolves... but somehow I had to put up with a LOT of the romantic nonsense, the omygodhebrokeupwithmeemoemoemoemo bullshit, and... yeah. The barf-inducing dialogue.
Meh. If you're not a tween, or if you're looking for a read that's well... not too challenging, let's just say... the Twilight series is for you. I think I'll stick to my Anne Rice novels, thank you~~~
